Kalifornia Looks to Remove Decades Old Ban on Communists in Government Jobs
A shift in the direction of outright Communism would definitely be consistent with the national Democratic Party’s foray into Stalinism with all of the trappings of totalitarian Russia. There are now false accusations based on zero evidence, violent mobs shutting down opposing political views and and endless parade of show trials and tribunals. Could gulags be next?
Every decent American should fully support the secession of California which has become unmoored from both reality and traditional American values and has gone over to the dark side due to the loss of an election.

Why would the Kalifornia Government want to fire itself anyhoo?
Why offend most of her readers? Smart.
I'm certain she had no fear and could not be intimidated into anything.
Rand being an atheist, she evidently had too much old-fashioned class to go out of her way to show any low case contempt while writing dialog for her AS characters.
If I'm wrong, editors edit. An editor checked my work way back when I was a newspaper reporter.
It's a publisher who can be $$$ intimidated.
About three times in my life the subject of God came up and the other dude started to call God "she." The last time it was someone I really respected until I heard that stupid crap.
Anyway, there is a fair number of Christians who have landed in the Gulch. I know it due to getting a PM every now and then from this and that Gulcher, but there's one who emails me fairly frequently.
It's not Dobrien with whom I share "it's a small world" Compass Lake, Florida, connection. We've been developing a friendship, though.

BTW , reread "low case"contempt not low class. contempt.
I don't see any religious promotion here.
As for this photo of compass lake~

--this is the beach of the Dothan Boat Club of which my fairly recently deceased dad was a member. Facing the lake, he had a cottage built two front doors to the left. As a kid I used to hunt fish in that cypress tree grove with a snorkel, a one-piece diving goggle, flippers and a spear gun. Farther to the right from what's photographed, an family of ospreys built a sizable bird's nest. Every once in a while you's see an osprey catch a sizable fish. I have four brothers. Two own that cottage. In accordance to the will, a bother in North Carolina, one in Delaware and I traded away our shares of that real estate for $16,000 something a piece. I only go there for family reunions that last about three days and we didn't even have one last summer.,
I looked again at that photo because something was not quite right. That boat is pulling skiers between cypress trees. That farthest tree on the left was cut down a long time ago. That black and white photo is definitely old. The tree may have been dynamited. Cypress stumps are fatter and harder to removed than the rest of the tree. I when I was a kid recall a one-armed dynamiter who with his teen-aged son I watched blow up specified trees to open up beaches in front of cottages. My dad was the first person to have a cottage built on that side of the main lake and it looked like the setting of a Tarzan movie way back when.
What I wrote about the lake was for Dobien's benefit.
After writing the above, I noticed you nitpicking Dobrein even high above. The only place I've noticed anyone going out of their way to lower case God is here on this board. I know I can use English loosely at times, but about certain things I as my own born free individual prefers to use the proper English I was taught in school, goddamn it. Goddamn it! Dino wrote goddammit! God is gonna get him fer writin' sech gol'dern thangs. Not the god Apollo.
In most of Atlas Shrugged the name "God" was used in common phrases like "God damn" that had nothing to do with religion, just emotional phrases with no particular meaning. In Galt's speech it was a religious name being rejected. The spelling had nothing to do with fear of offending readers.
Amazing how she could tell where our society was sliding while typing all those many, many pages for the Atlas Shrugged manuscript published way back during 1957.
Rand wasn't at all shy of flying the beam when she'd in her near futuristic novel mentioned a People's Republic of France.
As more do drop back or drop out, in addition to rational action becoming progressively more illegal, civilization will continue to decline, but no disaster by itself will tell or convince anyone of what is right without a better philosophy. Without that, as conditions worsen people simply become accustomed to and accepting of the new level of deprivations, just as they did in the original Dark Ages.
Can you give a diagnosis of the patient? DrZ "yes a chronic case of gimmedats"
